Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. You’ll be responsible for the infrastructure that runs Uber’s global stateful systems - over 20 types of technologies including MySQL, Redis, and Kafka - across 50,000+ hosts and exabytes of data. This role is based in our Aarhus, Denmark office, a key global hub for Uber’s Infrastructure and Platform teams. In Aarhus, we don’t just use technology; we build the core systems that keep Uber moving. The work is massive in scale and high in stakes. You will navigate the tension between moving fast to increase fleet-wide efficiency and maintaining the extreme reliability required for systems that never sleep. We are looking for an engineer eager to grow into a role with greater technical ownership and leadership. As our Stateful Platform team continues to scale, we need someone who can go beyond execution to formulate a north star vision for our products. You will be expected to drive the team toward that goal independently, staying steady through the regular disruptions that come with operating at our scale. If you thrive in high-ambiguity environments, value ownership over hierarchy, you will grow here.
Job Responsibility
Design, build, and maintain the automation frameworks that deploy and run all database engines globally, ensuring high availability across on-prem and multiple cloud environments
Solve high-impact infrastructure problems where the solution isn't always obvious - such as automating kernel upgrades or storage cluster expansions across millions of containers
Build and own services written in Go, focusing on system reliability, resource forecasting, and intelligent placement to maximize utilization
Navigate the messiness of technical debt and shifting priorities, ensuring every code change is backed by rigorous testing while maintaining a bias for action
Unblock fleet-wide efficiency by optimizing scheduling, with the goal of eliminating manual on-call operations through automation
Lead through influence by mentoring peers and collaborating across global engineering sites (SF, Amsterdam, Seattle, Bangalore) to ship practical solutions at speed
Engage with the local community by participating in or leading tech meetups hosted at our Aarhus office to share knowledge and drive engineering excellence locally
Requirements
5+ years of professional software development experience
Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python)
Experience with software engineering fundamentals, including testing methodologies and quality documentation
Technical depth in building or managing distributed systems at scale
Demonstrated ability to lead technical direction and help a team navigate through ambiguity and complex organizational changes
Nice to have
Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
Knowledge of database and stateful systems (e.g., MySQL, Kafka, HDFS, or Redis)
A mindset for automation—specifically a track record of replacing manual processes with self-healing systems
